The "class" of eligible voters may (or may not) be "all current players and all persons who register during the voting period." There is nothing in the above clause preventing this interpretation. The act of registration (which makes a person into an eligble voter) might be seen as specifically "permitting" a change during a voting period. I note that no proposal distribution recently has had a list or description, perhaps listing a proposal as "O" or "D" is sufficient in many circumstances to enable public agreement, but not in this case. Your opinion may be right (I'm not convinced either way), but I don't think your above argument supports it as strongly as you think. =Goethe
